Ceci and Barrie are not cap dumps. Both have term and would generate a return in any trade, and are potential flips if SJ wants to trade them for picks down the road. Puljujarvi is obviously a dump as is Benning... Benning wouldn't make the Oilers starting D even after this trade... he'd be the 7th D behind Desharnais. The Sharks will have to absorb some level of retention and take contracts back to make the money work for any contender. As great as Karlsson is, at $11.5M he's still at least a $1.5 to $2M overpay. And only that low because he's having a stellar year. Average his performance over the past 3 years and the overpay is even higher. That affects the trade value.
